Why this isn't a $25/month stock-alert subscription

Most stock-alert products bill you every month whether anything happens or not. You pay for the right to maybe get pinged. A quiet tape still costs the same as a loud one.

If you trade moving-average crosses, that is a bad deal. A golden cross on a name you follow might fire once a year. A price reclaim of the 200-day might fire a handful of times. You do not need a terminal subscription to hear about four events.

What you actually want

You already know the signal. SMA50 through SMA200 is the golden cross. SMA50 under SMA200 is the death cross. Price through the 50/100/150/200 is the faster stuff. You picked the tickers. You are not looking for someone else's picks, and you are not looking for a 40-indicator dashboard.

You want one ping, the moment the cross is real, on a name you already care about. Then you want to tap a link and see SMA 50 and SMA 200 on the candles, not reconstruct it from a text blast that says "AAPL crossed SMA50."

That last part is the one most alert apps skip. They tell you it happened. They do not show you it happened.

What the monthly plans actually sell

The big charting platforms bundle alerts into the terminal. You get drawing tools, screeners, social feeds, and a cap on how many alerts you can arm. Five hundred alerts on those plans run north of $50 a month. You pay on months where nothing on your list crosses, and you pay again on months where it does.

TradingView can do moving-average alerts. You still have to set each one, keep the alert alive, and live inside their plan limits. Do that for 20 tickers across daily and weekly, times four SMA levels, plus golden/death, and you are babysitting a spreadsheet of alerts. The whole point of an alert was to stop babysitting charts.

The other genre is the "trade alert" Telegram channel: someone else's setups, often a monthly fee, often a pitch. That is a different product. If you want a guru, go find a guru. If you want your own watchlist watched, you do not need one.

How Korpious bills

One credit is one alert is one cent. Credits only get spent when a cross (or a day-move you turned on) actually fires and we deliver it. A quiet market is a quiet bill.

New accounts get 50 alerts free. No card. After that, $5 is 500 credits. $10 is 1,100. $20 is 2,400. Same 500 alerts that cost over $50 a month on a charting plan cost $5 here, and only if they fire.

Email always sends. Telegram copies it when you link a chat. Each alert is its own message, with the ticker, the exact cross, the price, the SMA, and a chart link that already has those SMAs drawn: SMA50 through SMA100, golden cross, price vs SMA200, whatever fired. Deduped so the same cross does not hit you twice.

Who this is not for

If you scalp off 1-minute bars, this is too slow. We check through the US session on an hourly cadence, plus a close-of-day sweep. If you want someone to tell you what to buy, this will annoy you: you pick the tickers and the SMAs. If you have never heard of a simple moving average, start with the signal guides first. The product assumes you already read those charts.

The 10-second version

You already know what a golden cross is. You should not pay a monthly rent to be told when one happens on a stock you picked. You should get the chart in the same message. That is the product.
